AUSTIN, Texas — The Texas women’s basketball team will compete in the 2023 Jimmy V Women’s Classic and host UConn on Sunday, Dec. 3 at 2:00 p.m. CT at Moody Center. This will be the second year the Jimmy V Women’s Classic will be broadcast on ABC.
The Longhorns and Huskies previously played in the Jimmy V Women’s Classic in 2016 at Mohegan Sun Arena.
The Jimmy V Classic, named for legendary college basketball coach Jim Valvano – who was inducted in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in August, annually raises money and awareness for the V Foundation for Cancer Research. The women’s event debuted in 2002, while the men’s classic began in 1995. Both events are part of ESPN’s V Week initiative, which utilizes platforms to talk to sports fans about the importance of cancer research. To date, ESPN has helped raise nearly $200 million dollars for the V Foundation. In 2022, V Week helped raise a record breaking $14.4 million dollars which was a 32 percent increase over 2020 fundraising.
The Jimmy V Women’s Classic will include a tripleheader on ABC and ESPN with South Carolina at Duke, UConn at Texas and Ohio State at Tennessee.
